Putting up plasterboard:
What's the point of Screwfix 'plasterboard- jagged'' nails as
compared to galvanised clout nails, and how far apart should
they be?

But I agree with Andrew - use drywall screws if you can - 32mm
for 9mm plasterboard and 38mm for 12mm board.

This is OK but there can still be big problems with inept fitting,
especially where too few screws are used and/or they are over-
driven and the heads break through the outer layer into the
plaster; this can lead to whole boards falling off!!

Do people think that adapters like this;

would be of any use with an ordinary cordless driver?
